Interpretation of QML profiler output

markugra

Hi there,

I have a short question about the statistics view of the QML profiler:
What does it mean if a row is highlighted with an orange background?
Unfortunately I could not find anything about that in any tutorials or manuals I've seen so far. Even the official site (http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-qml-performance-monitor.html, see "Viewing Statistics") shows an image with a highlighted row in orange but does not comment on it.
If there is any documentation that I've missed please point it out to me.

Thanks in advance

Pretty sure that's where you are in source?
http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-qml-performance-monitor.html#viewing-statistics
"Click on an event to move to it in the source code in the code editor."

Pretty sure when you do that it would highlight the function / src area.

ce?

Thanks for your reply, but I was referring to the row highlighted in orange. As opposed to the blue highlight it is independent from my location in source or the details I am viewing.

Looking at it again, I am thinking it might mark the function that exhibits the maximum total time in the Flame Graph.
Can someone confirm this?
